Quickly conceal a nose pimple using a color corrector and concealer.
Neutralizing Redness with Color Correction
The most effective way to hide a pimple, especially the redness, is to use a color corrector before applying concealer. A green-tinted color corrector neutralizes the red tones of a pimple, creating a smoother base for your makeup. Many correctors come in pen form for precise application. [Reference: Several sources mention the use of a green color corrector pen to neutralize redness before applying foundation or concealer.]
- Step 1: Apply a small amount of green color corrector directly to the pimple.
- Step 2: Gently blend the corrector into the surrounding skin.
- Step 3: Allow a few minutes for the corrector to set.
Concealing the Pimple
After the color corrector has set, apply a concealer that matches your skin tone over the area. This will fully hide the pimple.
- Step 1: Choose a concealer that matches your skin tone exactly.
- Step 2: Dab a small amount of concealer onto the pimple and gently blend it with a makeup sponge or your fingertip.
- Step 3: Blend outwards to seamlessly integrate the concealer into your surrounding skin. Avoid harsh rubbing.
Alternative Methods
While makeup provides immediate results, other methods can help minimize the pimple's appearance without makeup:
- Strategic Hair Styling: If your hair is long enough, style it to partially cover the pimple.
- Accessories: Hats, scarves, or sunglasses can strategically obscure the pimple. [Reference: Curology suggests using accessories to hide pimples.]
Remember, using pimple patches might not be appropriate for concealing a pimple as they contain ingredients that could irritate the skin further. [Reference: TikTok video warns against using pimple patches to hide nose piercings due to the ingredients.]
